The process of resurrection and glorification consists of transferring data from impermanent corruptible containers to permanent incorruptible containers. When Herbert Armstrong shared the concept of the spirit in man in 1967, he used a handful of electronic metaphors such as grooves on a vinyl record or a magnetic strip on a mylar tape, wire, or Dictaphone belt. We could later add to that list 8-track, cassette recording, compact disk, stick-drive, external NAS storage, the cloud, and high definition digitalization. All we really know about the afterlife and the resurrection comes through metaphor, such as the cocoon which becomes a butterfly and the Apostle Paul's metaphor of a corruptible seed sown into the ground which becomes raised immortal and incorruptible. Electronics and computer technology have provided more images to ponder such as digitalization, color enhancement, and high definition, extending the shelf life of media that would have become extinct. The eighth day and the Great White throne Judgment remind us that God Almighty holds the schematic diagrams for all of us.
